Sofa Back

Original Design For Sofa Area, Since my DH is finally home from his trip and has seen, as well as oohed and aahed over, the sofa back I decorated while he was gone I thought it was high time I shared the whole design.

The Original DesignThe Original Concept The design incorporates the longest sofa table I could find that didnt cost a bigillion dollars, the Stockholm Sofa Table from IKEA (measuring 59 long). In our loft, we have a whopping 2 overhead lights with an additional light bar in the kitchen area. Originally, we were thinking large arching lights over the back of the couch or, in our dreams, statement spotlights on tripods from the magical land of Restoration Hardware but $500 cheaper.

I think the lights we ended up getting work just as well as the dual lights from the concept, and ended up saving us money in the process. Originally I had thought of using TV trays or some sort of table that hooks around the edge of the couch, but so far I havent been able to find anything that doesnt cost $130 each or isnt tacky.
